Sally Ride: A timeless inspiration for women in science

On June 18, 1983, Sally K. Ride became the first North American female astronaut to be sent into space. People around the world could hear the glass ceiling shattering as this 31-year-old physicist from California boarded the space shuttle Challenger and launched into history. The mission was six days, she was accompanied by four colleagues, and she loved it so much she went again the following year. Her journey to space was perhaps the most difficult on Earth, as she had to squeeze into NASA, past years and years of gender bias and discrimination. She was asked questions her male colleagues never had to answer, and her ability was doubted at various points, but she had the intelligence, persistence, and determination that rendered everyone else’s opinions irrelevant. So to celebrate the woman who stirred NASA up, check out this gallery and learn more about the almost-tennis star, quiet gay pride icon (she was only properly recognized as the first openly gay astronaut after her death) and pioneer for women in both science and space travel.

Why some women can see more colors than others

Color, to most of us, is a familiar and vivid experience: three primary hues combining in countless ways to paint the world around us. But for a select few in the natural world, this experience is only a fraction of what’s perceptible. Some women have an extraordinary biological feature known as tetrachromacy, which allows them to see color that transcends the ordinary. This feature is encoded in their genetics in a way that men cannot experience! While tetrachromacy is naturally found in a wide range of birds, fish, and reptiles, its subtle expression in humans has only recently begun to be explored, and it continues to challenge our understanding of what it means to “see” the world. How do humans and animals have this ability? How does biology, psychology, optics, and art affect the colors that people are able to see? Click through this gallery to find out.

What exactly was the Summer of Love?

The Summer of Love was a social phenomenon that took place for a few brief months in 1967 when between 75,000 and 100,000 people converged on San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury district. Quickly dubbed "hippies" by the press, this youthful throng represented a new revolutionary movement and the counterculture that was sweeping across the West Coast of the United States and beyond, in fact as far away as New York City, the aim of which was to cast off conservative social values and instead embrace peace, love, and freedom of expression. This utopian ideal was played out to a psychedelic soundtrack, composed by bands such as the Grateful Dead and Jefferson Airplane. By autumn, however, the scene had soured and darkened. Discord replaced harmony, and what was initially seen as a significant cultural event ended as a commercialized media spectacle. So, how did the sun rise and set over the Summer of Love?

Exploring the fifth taste: Umami and how to use it

Scientists have discovered that there's another taste with its own taste receptors that we haven't been aware of. It's umami! What causes us to taste umami is little more complicated than some of the other basic tastes. Salt makes food taste salty, and sugar makes food taste sweet. Umami is often created through the ingredients we use and the way we cook them. It's more common in some cuisines than others, and there are ways of increasing it (MSG, anyone?). To learn about the flavor that is very often ignored but makes food taste better, click through this gallery.

The lie of 'expired' food

If we look around, we can see patterns, processes, and shapes that fit together in far too many blinding ways.
